Hey everyone,
So, I was doing some last-minute Christmas shopping and thought I scored a deal on a Nintendo Switch for my nephew. Turns out, I didn’t read the description carefully enough, and I ended up with a NETGEAR 16-Port Gigabit Ethernet Managed Switch.
To be fair, it does look like a futuristic game console.
After some initial panic, I’ve decided to just keep it. Who knows? Maybe one day I’ll pivot into the hotel business and need to save on network infrastructure costs. Gotta think long-term, right?
You accidentally lucked into correctness.
You’ve never played as fun a game of space invaders as when you’re arbitrarily shooting down network packets and forcing TCP into over time.
I’m a broke fucking loser and I’d give my left nut for one of those.
Everything in the cloud is stupid, I am a self-hosting monster.
I actually have the exact same network switch, and it frequently goes on sale on Amazon. I think I picked it up for around $40 (but this was probably 5–10 years ago).
